Advocacy work is key to driving forward the changes needed in CI provision -and although we live in different parts of the globe and have differing roles – many of the issues are similar.
This CIICA LIVE session will provide the keys to advocacy to influence public policy and practice for CI provision and give practical successful examples to inspire, with two new focused tools for you.
This seminar covers the bimodal aspects in the adult population hosted by Prof. Ulrich Hoppe from Erlangen.
Bimodal is considered as treatment with a Cochlear Implant on one side and a hearing aid on the other side.
This webinar gives an overview of the scientific research in this field, including what bimodal is and how the indication has changed over time. It will also include presentations from experts in the field.
Addressing hearing loss is associated with improvements in overall wellbeing including mental health by enabling people to communicate more easily with others. This reduces the social isolation and mental health problems associated with hearing loss. Addressing untreated hearing loss improves cognition and may help reduce the risk of dementia.
This webinar will feature presentations from a diverse multi disciplinary panel of experts. The panel will present real world examples from their own perspective and experience as well as discussing the recommendations from the Consensus paper.

Ensuring that people with hearing loss who could benefit from a CI receive one is not only beneficial for the individual’s wellbeing but improves their chances of employment. This reduces the cost of social care and welfare budgets. It is a cost effective intervention for health systems and has the potential to save money on other health related costs.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Medical Device Epidemiology Network (MDEpiNet) are cosponsoring a Cochlear Implants Innovation, Research and Advancement (CIRCA) Virtual Workshop, to be held February 1-2, 2022.
The goal of the workshop is to gain a better understanding of the current landscape of cochlear implants and their related regulatory processes, and to contribute best practices to strengthen the research and clinical infrastructure to capture and assess patients experience with cochlear implants.
Chronic Otitis Media (COM) may contribute more than half of the global burden of hearing loss but there is no global consensus on diagnostic and treatment guidelines for hearing loss due to the disease.
This course will focus on case studies presented by audiologists actively fitting bone conduction solutions.
